The actor recently spoke to Access Hollywood about the upcoming season of Game of Thrones, suggesting that Tyrion will become more involved in the world of politics.

Dinklage said: "It's a really good season... my character goes somewhere that he hasn't been before and I'm not gonna say anything else, but it's fun to see a character like Tyrion in the world, in the game… the political game."

He concluded: "He was on the outside of it and now he's on the inside. It's fun what happens."
